At Skin & Allergy Center, we may perform a skin biopsy to help diagnose a skin condition or to determine whether a skin lesion is cancerous or benign. During the procedure, we remove a small sample of the affected tissue and send it to a lab for analysis.
Pathologists, who specialize in the study of diseases, examine the sample to identify abnormalities or cancerous cells. Whereas some clinics need to outsource the pathology process, the Skin & Allergy Center does our testing in-house, making the wait for your results significantly shorter.
Results are typically available within a few days, at which point your provider will contact you to discuss your results and any necessary next steps. Biopsies are done using local anesthesia and are a quick and safe procedure.
Skin & Allergy Center sets the bar for skin care in the Nashville metro area. We prioritize patient-centered care and utilize the latest technology and advanced treatments to provide exceptional service for a wide range of medical and cosmetic skin conditions, allergies, and asthma.

You don’t typically need a referral to schedule an appointment with dermatologists at Skin & Allergy Center. However, some insurance providers may require your physician’s referral or prior authorization to cover our services. Check with your insurance provider before scheduling an appointment to see our specialists.
Most insurance providers will cover cancer biopsies, diagnosis, and treatments as part of early detection care. However, if you are unsure of your coverage, we encourage you to check with your insurance provider before scheduling an appointment with us.
There is no downtime after a biopsy, but the wound will take between 7 and 10 days to heal, depending on the size. Follow any after-care instructions from your provider to accelerate the healing process and prevent infection.
